The city health officers complain that many
physicians fail to report new cases of contagious
disease promptly and. in consequence, they are
having much trouble in checking the spread of
diphtheria. A few physicians have always re-
scented any effort to put them under police regu-
lation, and professional courtesy has prevented
the board from insisting the sanitary laws
being rigdv inforced tn ey shoald be.
There is o professional policy of concealment OF
danger that has greatly hampered the work
of the sanitary department in its treat
nent of dphtheria, but the danger of an alarm
ing epidemic during the winter will compel the
board to take steps to punish the physicians
who, it 10 known. are violating the law in failing
to report cases of diphtheria. There are now
over fifty cases in the city. The death tie from
the disease is not large; but 1t is up to the
age and certainly large enough to call for heroic
measures. DR.. Rowe who was arrested several
days ago. charged with negecting to have prop
erly placarded q house where diphtheria ex-
listed. was discharged by the Mayor yesterday
morning. The disease, that was thought TO be
diphthera at first turned out TO be something
else.

coming south near Ridgeway. While at
work with his back to the engine the train
passed under a bridge, which struck Dorm in
the mead, knocking him between two cars,
where he became fastened. He was carried
in this way for some time At last he fell
through upon the track and was passed over
by fourteen cars. He managed 10 lie so
close to the ground that only parts OF the
cars struck his head, and he was not killed.
No bones were broken.
On Saturday morning about o'clock a
painter named Milligan, who is boarding ut
the residence of J. Oliver Durant, on sum
ter street, Charleston, was aroused from his
sleep by some one moving about the room.
While Milligan was lying still listening,
the intruder approached the bed and pro-
ceeded to throttle him Milligan struck his
assailant, and, knocking him down, kicked
him through the window, but before he
could leap out to seize him he escaped. On
the ground under the window, however,
We're found hat and umbrella, which were
identified as the property of John ). Net

arrested. 1t is supposed that he believed he
would surprise a woman in the room.

thought to have been fatally injured. He
was struck in several places, and his

shoes even, were rent i'll twain and knocked
from his feet. An ugly cash was cut on

they could to relieve his sufferings For

have good cause to come forward and
criticize the enormous expenditure for
military purposes, and get up strong
election cry of the honor of France
having been improperly protected,
most efficient cry among the mobile
and tickle Gauls. The war OF revenge
is the only card for the present Gov
eminent to play.
Another most important feature in
the European complication is the Mil
itary Convention signed by the Balkan
Slav States and the Austrian Empire.
The Balkan States-with the except
ion of Montenegro, which draws sub
stantial benefits from Russia and the
income of whose Prince depends al
most entirely on Russian gold, the
revenues of his rocky Principally
only yielding him about Sl,50O a year
are one and all banded against Rus
STA. To alter Virgil,
"Timeant Scythios ct dona ferentes."
They fear the Muscov1te and every
thing belonging to him, they have
seen how he treats his friends when
he no longer has any use for them.
Russia made a great mistake when
she sliced away the control OF the
month of the Danube from Roumania.
Charles of Roumania, from that mo-
ment. became an ardent Austrian, and
Milan of Servia followed suit. Bull
oaria is anti-Russian. It is quite on
the cards that these States, supported
by Austria, may effectually bar the
way to Russia's march upon Constan-
tinople. and that the Christian will
once more save the Mohammedan
| Turk from expulsion from Europe.
The reports from India continue to
show that great disquietude is being
felt among the military authorities in
that country as to the Russian move
ments at Merv. Over 100000 men
are concentrated there-a large pro
portion of which are cavalry. The
object of massing so large force on
the Indian frontier is plain. 1t is to
act as a check on England should she
manifest a desire to take hand IN
any complications that may occur in
the Balkan Peninsula.

practices at elections" but they are
of little effect if, wnen the charges
are proved, legislature of Office
holders calmly ignores them.
We have "a law of inquests," 1t IS
true, but men and women are hustled
into the ground without proper en-
quiry as to the cause of death: Only
a few weeks ago this was the case,
when a prisoner committed suicide:
The passport law is most stringent .
true, against ordinary citizens, but
when an attempt was made to enforce
it against Mr.. f. L. Clarke, who has
just started away on mission OF some
sort to New York and London, he
simply got a Foreign Office passport
and snapped his fingers at his credit
ors. That is, the passport law can be
enforced or can be broken at the sweet
will of the rulers.
There is an appropriation for an
Inspector General of Schools, but no
such officer has been in existence foE
something like year. There ought
to be a system of free education, but
there is not in Honolulu. The two
large Government schools in this city
both charge fees; Fort street, which
the children of foreigners chiefly at
tend. charges SOC. or Is. a week. But
why enumerate more of these inaccu-
racies and perversions? Enough IS
given above to show what kind OF in
formation has been got together for
the benefit of the British public.
To one last statement however, we
must give place The public debt is put
down at a little over s., 100000. 1t
was easy to get accurate figures, and
the public debt is nearly double the
amount given, but the most astound-
ING statement is that this money has
been chiefly spent on "the importation
of labor for the plantations" AS a
fact the money for immigration has
been almost entirely refunded by the
planters who, on receiving laborers,
pay the full passage money including
a handsome profit to those conducting
the labor traffic. No, the debt OF Ha
wall has been incurred for an extrav-
agant palace, useless artillery and gat-
ling guns, a silly coronation, a ridicu-
lous Genealogy Board, missions to
South Sea chiefets and general waste.
The real needs of the country have
been shamefully neglected, the roads
are in a frightful condition all over
the group, landings are needed, the
harbor wants dredging, the executive
wants cleansing, bribery and corrupt
ion need uprooting, and then the pic
ture of the self dubbed Hawaiian
who writes to the Times, might have
some semblance to the truth.

THERE is great disquietude in Ha-
waiian official circles over the so called
army. In former days, when Hawai-
ian Monarchs We're not autocratic,
they did not bother their heads about
military. Now the methods .of
government are such that the rulers
fear the people and have sought to
bolster their power by bringing the
volunteers under more direct control
of the Sovereign. Their anxiety has
defeated its own object. The so-called
Hawaiian army has officers-of the
End-in large numbers, but men can
not be got to join. Consequently
there is fear and trembling and much
recrimination. 1t would have been
better to have ruled according to con-
stitutional methods and not have re
quired an armed force to keep up the
courage Of the rulers. This country
needs no soldiers The only military
required are for the purposes of lit
tie display in mounting guard in the
Palace. The fact is the present rulers
of Hawaii have acted, and are acting
in so illegal manner, have defed
law so often, that they fear their own
population. It is only one of the
signs of the times and symptom of
the disease that such a Government
as that of Hawaii must suffer from.
From all indications their fears are

The Hawaiian Board of Health,
which has been duly constituted, will
be a great boon to the country. Too
long have we been under the dominion
of men trained in the first colleges of
France, England and America. The
members of the Hawaiian Board are
eminently qualified by their scientific
attainments to Judge of sanitary mat
tiers, and the licensing of kahunas, or
native quack doctors, who effect their
cures by heather lamentations, the
slaughter of white chickens and the
use of charms, is a step calcu-
lated to. show the world Just how
far the Hawaiian ruling clique has

Honolulu has had unprecedented
rains during the first two months Of
the wear. The record kept by DR..
McKibbin shows 7.61 inches for the
month of January and 5.3S inches for
February, total of 1899 for two
months. During the same two months
of 1856, the record stood: January,
SO; February, lis; total of I'll
inches. With such heavy rains and
the large mass of vegetation in and
around the city, it is a matter of con
graduation that we have had no cpl
demic of fever. There has been a
good deal of malarial fever, but it has
been of mild type and January only
showed four fatal cases, by no means
out of the way in a population of 20,
600 inhabitants. The great fire of
April last has, undoubtedly, had its
effect upon the general health. A
number of rookeries were cleaned out
and several fever centers were swept
out of existence.
Householders should be careful to
trim their trees, so as to let the sun,
now that we once more enjoy its rays,
dry up the decaying and moist masses
of vegetation. There is no such good
scavenger in the world as your sun.

The importation of forty packages
of opium by the steamer Gailec is a
most important matter 1t marks the
commencement Of the new era. The
debauching of the population, for
which preparations had been made,
may now be regarded as having actu-
ally commenced. The Government
can now congratulate itself upon the
complete success of its nefarious poll
icy. The drug is here, the bride has
been paid and received; the Custom
House officials have stamped the tins
with the official mark, and now all
that has to be done is to push the sale
to the uttermost in order to make a
handsome profit. There will indeed
be need of push. The license cost
$4,000, paid into the Government
Treasury and, it is rumored, some $780,
600 more expended in bribery. Then
there have been legal expenses, trav.
cling expenses, duties, and the actual
cost of the drug. How large a profit
is to be made out of this nefarious
traffic can be judged when an induce
ment could be offered to SO fine a
steamer as the Gaelic to come out OF
her way and land the poison here
Terror has been struck into the hearts
of all Chinese who smoke opium by
inficting the heaviest penalty on two
unfortunates found smoking unli-
censed poison, and the ground is clea1
for this immoral syndicate to go tc
work and pile up wealth as fast as II
can.
A grave step back in civilization
thisSand one which will bring many
evils in its train. The day on which
this consignment of opium was landed
at this port was indeed an important
one, day to be regarded with sorrow
not only by all resident here, but by
moralists in all parts of the world
Truly Hawaiians have forgotten the
teachings of the self-denying men wht
first brought civilization to the Isl
ands. Our latest files from the Coas
show that this is the view taken b.
many thinkers and friends there.

Our treaty news is not very definite,
but from what we can gather, both
from published accounts and from
private letters there seems every prob
ability that it will go over this session
of Congress. There seems like pro
bability that the tariff will remain IN
changed.
Under the circumstances it behoves
our rulers to be very careful of vapor-
ING and nonsense. Our friends in the
East are thoroughly well posted as
to matters here, and understand Ha
waiian politics and Hawaiian needs.
They know our strength and our weak
ness. Their estimate of Mr.. Gibson,
our present Minister of Foreign At
fairs. is not a high one. He is known
to be at variance with the entire re-
spectability and wealth of the country.
They recognize in him man inimlcal
to American interests; a renegade
American, and therefore who 10 llanra
bitter against his countrymen than a
born foe; a man who thinks that the
country can get along without a treaty,
and who is quite willing to make the
experiment, no matter how many
Americans he ruins. The King, how
ever, knows the Importance of the
Treaty. It is the Treaty that has
given him the large revenue which
has supplied himself and his people
with sums Of money undreamed of a
decade ago. The time is now APP
preaching when distinct issue is go
ing to be put before the King and his
Minister, and the decision will have
to be reached, as to whether the goose
that lays the golden egg is to be
slaughtered, or a worthless, venal and
mischievous Minister let go. Though
we have, by good luck, nearly tided
over a great crisis for a limited por-
ton of time, the crisis will return and
it is especially needful for us to be
prepared to meet the crisis, and so to
order the affairs of our little State
that our friends may be anxious TO
help us. Yaporing, bunkum and "trip
perry will do more to harm us than
can be readily overcome by those who
would do us a good turn if they
could.

The election of the Hon. L. Kaulu-
kou, Marshal of the Kingdom, to a
seat in the Legislature is distinctly
illegal. The words of the Constitu-

tive officers in the Kingdom. If the
Government defy the law in this what
will they not do in other matters

had better ponder upon this fragrant
